Vintage 1/20 12K Gold-Filled Seed Pearl Tassel Screw-Back Earrings

These wonderfully unusual vintage earrings feature a romantic tassel-inspired design in warm yellow gold-filled metal. Each earring begins with a softly domed round button, followed by an articulated drop accented with a small seed pearl. An ornate, scrolling canopy releases a collection of slender, free-moving gold ribbons alongside a delicate vertical strand of luminous cream-colored seed pearls. The softly flared ends of the gold ribbons add graceful movement and a distinctive handcrafted appearance.

The earrings are fitted with adjustable screw-back closures for non-pierced ears. An especially charming detail is the delicate sunburst-style engraving found on the inside of each screw-back pad—a small decorative flourish that reflects the thoughtful workmanship of the period.

The screw-back findings appear to be marked “1/20 12K G.F.,” indicating 12K gold-filled construction. Based on their construction and design, these earrings are believed to be vintage, likely dating to the early-to-mid 20th century.
